About the author
Amy Ella Blanchard (1856–1926) was an American author of children’s literature. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, she studied art in New York City and Philadelphia before teaching drawing and painting, including at the Woman’s College of Baltimore, now Goucher College.
Blanchard published her first poem in a Salem newspaper at age sixteen and went on to write a large number of books for young readers. Her work includes Wee Babies, Bonny Bairns, Two Girls, A Daughter of Freedom, A Heroine of 1812, Mistress May, and A Loyal Lass.
She also collaborated with the artist Ida Waugh, who illustrated several of her books. Blanchard and Waugh were lifelong companions, and their creative partnership helped shape a distinctive body of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century children’s literature.
